Catabolite repression is a case in which the enzyme is not produced when a compound is still present in the medium and appears only after the compound disappears.
Example is the Catabolite repression in Lac Operon in E.Coli. When Glucose is present in the medium enzymes for lactose metabolism are not synthesized.
Catabolite repression can be overcome by adding cAMP exogenously.
